A friend of mine really likes the Donnie Darko film theme song from 2001. Then like 5 years later it was all over the radio and we were like WTF, why do they just discover it now?

I started playing WoW around 2005, then ever since it exploded I can't find myself playing it anymore. I dislike mainstream so much. Don't get me wrong though, I don't just dislike mainstream for the sake of being different. The best comparison I can make is, I hate mainstream music that's played on the radio, it's so generic and simple to me. I'm a metalhead, but not one of those people that claims to be one because they listen to Metallica, Megadeth, Disturbed, etc. I listen to metal that the average person doesn't know of unless they go looking for it.

I have to say though, I'd love to see Starcraft get huge, and it seems like it's well on its way.

Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

So he is just 1 step less cool than the people who liked the band that played the song before the movie came out?

So this is a round-about way to say respect your elders?

You guys know that crappy ¨crunk¨ stuff that's all over the place now? Or,, right now it's more of a hybrid but anyways. I listened to that trash long before it was pop, i had quite bad taste in music for a while in my early teens.

But i have to say , old ¨crunk¨ is better then the new mainstream ¨crunk¨. It's still bad though.
We promise with a view to hope, but the reason to "accomplish" what we promised would be fear.

Enter Shikari (not sure how popular they are outside of the UK)

But I remember going to see them in place with like 50 people when there music was good. Maybe 03/04 i think

Now every jonny badass thinks there awesome by listening to them, even though they butchered there whole entire music collectionwhen take to the skies came out.

A similar thing to the OP aswell, listening Midnight Request Line back then. Although I will always remember listening to DJ Pinch and Hatcha in 2005/06

What if the now cool thing was unknown back then? As in only when it went "mainstream" did you really have an opportunity to experience it?
For example, dumbfoundead was just a random korean rapper i never heard about, but through sc->kpop-->jay park-->dumbfounded i was able to learn of him and his music is pretty cool.

Maybe bad example, but if a thing BECOMES cool is the only way ppl will hear about it, and then likes it, how do you distinguish those ppl from the bandwagons.

Every build i do in starcraft i feel so unique doing it until suddenly in GSL or TSL someone does the almost exact same build and then everyone starts doing it, so annoying.

Also WoW ofc, i cant stand the community any more, not that it was ever that great, but now everyone i know is playing it -.-

Also stuff like Halo 1.

Imo when games go mainstream they sort of ruin themselves. The community goes to shit and the game just loses it's charm (i'm talking about WoW/CoD/Halo mainstream-ish, not sc2.) Which is also why i wouldnt like sc2 to "blow up" or whatever.
If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.

I liked kpop way before it was international.

I liked BoA when she was just a nobody.

I liked Taylor Swift before her debut was even released.

I used mp3s when MDs were still trying to compete.

I liked Apple before iPods.

I liked Twitter before it was popular.

I liked trolling before trolling was even a term.

I used spell pen gems before every terrible DK started doing it.


I can go on and on... too many to list. Let's just say I have good taste.
